A Different Christmas (KomaHina)

Parents ☯︎

Once again, another day of school was over, and I was one step closer to the Christmas holidays. Usually, I would hide away in my house waiting for the school term to start up again but, this year was different. Hajime is staying with me more often now and he is hoping I would be able to spend the weekend with his family. I would love to! Naegi and Nanami also came up with the idea of our friends having a big sleep over Friday night after the formal. I don't think I've ever had a sleep over with someone before. That makes me sound lame.

Hajime and I continued to walk back to my house from school campus. "How was your day?" he asked. I thought for a moment. "Good," the shimmer in his eyes intensified. "really?" he chirped. I nodded giggling a little. Hajime looked so happy for me. I wrapped my arms around his waist snuggling into his chest. I guess this was my way of saying thank you. He giggled hugging back placing one arm over my shoulder and his hand on my head brushing through my cloud of hair. I looked up placing my hand under his chin. "I love you," I lifted his head slightly letting our lips connect. I closed my eyes smiling as we kissed.

"Oi! Get a room Love birds" Hiyoko squealed before running away with Mahiru. Hajime scoffed watching her skip off. I laughed.

We started walking again soon arriving at my house before it started snowing again. I sat down on the dining table to do homework as did Hajime. I didn't have much to do, just that stupid English task. Hajime on the other hand, had piles and piles of algebra homework to complete by Friday. It was funny. I decided to not bother about my English yet and instead help him complete his. After all, it is much more important. Once we had completed that we decided to get something to eat. The only problem was, I didn't have any food. The bagels I had bought on Monday were already gone and no one can possibly cook something out of milk and mixed spice.

"What about we go eat dinner with my parents, I don't think they would mind," Hajime suggested. "I'm not sure about that, are your parents ok with," I paused for a moment trying to think of the right words to say, "Us?" he thought for a few seconds and then spoke again. "I'm sure they won't care." I could tell by the slight tremble in his voice that he wasn't completely sure. I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't considered that earlier.

I rushed up stairs to get changed out of my school uniform. I didn't want to go over in it especially since the elbow was still ripped. I looked through my wardrobe and picked out a pair of light blue jeans and a white T shirt. I walked into the bathrooms and brushed my hair off my face with my fingers tying it loosely in a ponytail. I don't really use hairbrushes anymore, last time I used them I got three stuck in my knotty mess of white hair.

"I'm ready!" I cheered running downstairs jumping into the arms of Hajime who Patiently was waiting at the bottom. He hugged back letting out a quiet giggle. "Your hair looks nice," I smiled flicking a loose strand over my ear, "Really?" Hajime nodded chuckling a little. We were just about to leave when Hajime stopped dead in his tracks. "You don't have anything for me to wear, I can't go over in my school uniform," he could if he wanted to, but I do agree, nobody looks amazing in school uniforms. It's like they are designed to make all students look undesirable. I looked up the stairs quickly dashing up to my room followed by Hajime slowly walking up behind me. I browsed over all my clothes and settles for a nice pair of black jeans and an olive hoody which complimented his beautiful eyes. He observed what I had given him and walked to the bathroom to get changed.

After a quick minute he opened to door and laughed a little. To my surprise they actually fit. The hoodie really did make his eyes sparkle.

"It really is wonderful to meet you Komaeda!" Hajime's mum was so welcoming when she spoke. Hajime and I giggled trying to hide the fact that we were holding our hands under the table. "So Komaeda, how did you meet Hajime?" his dad asked. His expression was so stern almost mad. "Well I Actually saved Ko-." I quickly cut off Hajime stomping on his foot under the table. He winced. "We met in science class, he sat next to me when there were no seats left," I tried to hide the fact I was lying but I had a feeling Hajime's dad knew there was something we were both hiding. I also didn't really want them knowing that Hajime kind of saved me from getting hit by a truck. I don't think that would give them a nice impression of me.
